Right? That was common knowledge weeks ago... another rage-bait article.
Eh, common knowledge if (and only if) you are someone chronically online and in the habit of trying to understand current events. :P
That said, rage bait is a bit harsh; while I'm not sure there's much to be done (the calls to deport geriatrics into an active warzone are... a little silly, even if we can prove these people to be war criminals), there are questions worth asking wrt to the circumstances and legitimacy of the rulings and descisions around both their post war status and entrance to Canada. Some acknowledgement and reckoning with some of the questionable actions taken as a nation in the aftermath of WWII is likely past due. /shurg
The event happened on the 22nd and I read about it on the 23rd or 24th, and at that time, I also learned about the Deschênes Commission. This is from an article 7 days ago:
I'm in no way trying to excuse their actions, or whitewash, or whatever. My argument is the title of the article:
Which is straight up bullshit; the question has been asked since the end of WW2 and has been answered several times.
I barely follow any news and I knew this too, after reading a single article. I think the headline is valid to someone who only reads other headlines.
This question need to be continued to be asked because as the recent events demonstrate, it absolutely has not been answered adequately. Releasing Deschênes Commission findings to the public would sure be a good start towards actually answering some questions.
